Christmas Presents from My OCDs/Fandoms

[goldenmoonrose]

Dear Kris Kringle of OCD/fandom/all-things-geeky,

Thank you so much for all the goodies that I have to look forward to in 2011!

Thank you so very much for new albums from two of my three most favorite groups, whom I haven't heard from in years. Both from DeVotchKa and from Within Temptation, both of whom have released tantalizingly delicious

That video made me feel like I am going through period drama withdrawl! I need to watch some!

[goldenmoonrose]

yes, yes, yes!
I just watched some before the JASNA tea, but I'm craving some Dickens or Glaskell.

Torchwood is coming back?!?!

[goldenmoonrose]

Oh yeah. This summer, on Starz and BBC. It is an American co-production, but it does look like it's going to be good.

[ozma914]

Can't wait -- but I hope they'll get out of the habit of killing people off.

[goldenmoonrose]

Agreed. It is a cheap way to get emotional reactions. And they ruined their own cast and character development.

So you're one of the few people I know who'd get this: I was participating in an online rewatch of Firefly/Serenity recently and I realised that when it comes to Trash, Simon and Tracey are like BRANDON and WILLOUGHBY and Kaylee is JUST LIKE MARIANNE. (Simon's more awkward than Brandon, but he's also younger.) Tracey seems like a better partner for Kaylee, from her background, on her level... but he's a cowardly SOB. Simon is awkward, sometimes stilted and unintentionally condescending but he is a good man. Tracey has a silver tongue but Simon has a heart of gold.

YES!!! I LOVE this! Very true! Simon is almost inhuman, in her opinion, but he's actually genuine.
